August 2, 2026Due to rain we had to make some last-minute changes to our event and booked balloon twisting. Face Painting was able to come through within 24 hour notice. She did some of the cutest ballon designs I have ever seen! All of the kids, and yes some of the adults, myself included, enjoyed the fun! I highly recommend Face Painting. I was thoroughly impressed with her work!! Everyone at the party was happy 😊

My artistic journey has been deeply influenced by classic TV shows like *The Simpsons*, *Peanuts*, and many beloved 90s cartoons. These iconic series have shaped my ability to craft whimsical, expressive characters and designs. For me, art isn't just a hobby—it's a way of life.
